The opening bars of our theme tune – Cozze by Amaraterra – can mean only one thing. The 2022 Giro d'Italia is nearly here. Join us for Girovagando as we cover the race from Budapest to Verona. Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie are joined by Danish journalist Brian Nygaard – who featured in last year's coverage – for this bumper Giro preview, in which we look at the route, weigh up the potential winners and anticipate the culinary and cultural highlights along the way. We hear from Simon Yates of Team Bike Exchange, who is riding his fifth consecutive Giro and who has unfinished business with the race after coming within a couple of days of winning in 2018 and ended up on the podium last year. His sports director Matt White also gives his verdict on a very open GC race. Laura Meseguer of our Spanish cousin El Cycling Podcast assesses the hopes of Alejandro Valverde, Pello Bilbao, Mikel Landa, Richard Carapaz and Miguel Angel Lopez among others and there's a cameo from La Gazzetta dello Sport's Ciro Scognamiglio too. This will be the seventh Giro d'Italia The Cycling Podcast has covered daily from start to finish – the eighth if you also count Our Giro, our virtual journey round Italy during the COVID lockdown. However, it will be our first without our leader Richard Moore, although Daniel and Lionel have vowed to channel their inner Spirito di Bufalo. Our coverage kicks off on Friday (May 6) with – appropriately enough – the first of nine episodes of Kilometre 0, followed by nightly recaps of the race action. Join Daniel and Lionel in Hungary on Friday.  The Cycling Podcast is supported by Supersapiens and Science in Sport.
